Question 20

Define plainchant sequence and diagram an example.

Accepted Answer

Plainchant sequence refers to a type of liturgical chant in the Christian tradition that is sung during specific parts of the church service. It is a series of musical phrases that are sung in a specific order, often with a repeating melody.

An example of a plainchant sequence is the "Dies Irae," which is a Latin hymn that is traditionally sung during the Requiem Mass in the Catholic Church. The "Dies Irae" sequence is known for its haunting and dramatic melody, and it is often sung during funerals or memorial services.

Here is a simple diagram of the "Dies Irae" plainchant sequence:

1. Introductory phrase
2. First verse
3. Second verse
4. Third verse
5. Fourth verse
6. Fifth verse
7. Concluding phrase

Each verse of the "Dies Irae" follows a specific melodic pattern and is sung in a specific order, creating a structured and repetitive musical sequence. This is a typical example of a plainchant sequence in the Christian liturgical tradition.
